Even if the trailer appeals to you you have to accept the fact that at some point in the full length movie someone will say something PC that will make you want to retch or throw something at the screen...or both. That's just reality today.

Years ago David Merrick, the theater producer,found people with the same names of New York critics. He wined and dined them, then ran an ad with their rave reviews with their own names., The show, which was supposedly a dud, ran for over 200 performances.

Whenever I see an ad stating "Critics Rave", I imagine them babbling, drooling and foaming at the mouth.

The trailers are awful. It's the same damn good guy V bad guy electronic violence - everyone of them. Hollywood makes garbage. They don't care. Just like the clintons they make all their money overseas.

For me "Prometheus" was OK. It just couldn't live up to the expectation of being an appropriate prequel to two of the best scifi movies ever made "Alien" and "Aliens".

It did have one of the stupidest scenes of all time when the huge wheel-shaped spaceship was crashing down and all the people trying to escape ran a couple hundred yards in line with the wheel's direction rather than just taking 10 steps left or right and saving themselves. Maybe it was something in the atmosphere. Yes, like everything else, I blame CO2 concentration.

I have friends who are sci-fi fans. I just glaze over when they discuss flicks. One of them is a computer geek. We were living in Chicago and he insisted we go see Tron. It was on the northwest side of Chicago across the street from a great Chinese restaurant. At least I got a good meal. Fell asleep during the flick. My friend was offended.

R&B, what made Prometheus suck was not enough back story (intelligent backstory) on what is going on. Why are our "creators" who may not actually be our "creators" so hostile to us and especially robots?

That backstory was all that was needed. It appeals to this weird impulse people have to believe that intelligent superiors created us long ago, which they've now transposed onto ancient alien astronauts or whatever. Combine that with currently vogue theories of panspermia and you've got full backing for the science equation of your modern science fiction story.

Why would they be hostile? Why are we hostile to the things we create? The cars we crash. The buildings we destroy. The people we destroy - whether foreign tribe or our own underclasses. Hostility is so ubiquitous in big budget cinema (as in all literature) for creating the conflicts and tensions to resolve that it practically explains itself. It needs no explanation. It exists to that a story may take place. But it's not unrealistic at all to find it nearly everywhere. Or did we live in an anti-capitalist utopia all of a sudden?

Why did we put a gorilla in a zoo and take such tedious care of him only to shoot him dead once the first human baby fell into his hands?

I assume that GRRM will have some big reveal that GoT is a simulation done to amuse us.

If Prometheus is just "space Jesus" as some thought, then it truly does suck. And the idea that the creators would seed the world (presumably our world too) and then would exist essentially the same BILLIONS of years later (life on Earth is estimated to be 3.8 billions years old) seems a tad bit of a stretch.

And if your outline to Prometheus is all there was, I am bored already.

In comments: "I haven't seen this movie, I only watched this to see if there was a "Prometheus went to the Prometheus school of running away from things" joke﻿"

It's answered: Same reason! XD﻿

The scene is meme joke now. The escape from the wheel scene is dinged twice, once for not getting out of the way immediately and instead running in front of the wheel for a ridiculously long time before simply side-stepping its linear path, and a second time for getting out the way properly when you could have done it right both times. Two dings. It makes an actual and rather annoying ding sound with each sinful infraction. They go rapidly up to about 54.

Then down in comments each corrective comments amusingly begins DING. That was funny. To pick up the game in the video. It reminded me of NYT crossword conversation. I wanted an answer to be "clap on" for light switch. So I started and ended my comment with clap clap as if my own clap is my signal for commenting. This was received with good humor and it could have been a good and funny answer, and all comments that followed began and ended with clap clap and these two examples show how willing people are to engage a new game even old fuddy duddy NYT puzzle people.
